One stock that has constantly been coming up on some of my screeners the last few months has been CSS Industries (CSS). But while the company looks attractive at 10.5 TTM P/E and 0.9x book value, the business has been in decline over the past decade with revenues falling at an average compound rate of 4.9%. As such, current and potential investors should be careful and realize what they might be getting into.

LyondellBasell (LYB) is hitting 52-week highs and many investors are probably asking themselves whether they should hang on or start cashing in on their gains. The company's shares are still attractively priced at a 10.7x TTM P/E and the dividend yield of 3.6% is high considering the current market environment.

The company also lowered full-year guidance and now expects 2017 earnings per share to range from $2.50 to $2.80 which is down from its previous full-year guidance reiterated in Q2 of $3.00 to $3.50.

Advanced terms

Muck Rack's Advanced Search allows for many boolean operators.

AND

Find results that mention multiple specified terms, use AND or
+. For example, ensure each result contains both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg by
searching Obama AND Romney or Obama + Romney.

OR

Use the operators OR or , to broaden your search when you'd like either of
multiple terms to appear in results. (This is the default behavior of our search when no operators
are used.) For example, search for democrat OR republican to find results that refer to
Democrats and/or Republicans.

NOT

Use NOT or - to subtract results from your search. For
example, searching Disney will yield results about the Walt Disney Company as well as Walt Disney
World Resort. To exclude mentions of Disney World, search for Disney -World or Disney
NOT World.

Phrases

When using one of these operators with a phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. For example, you can
find results about smartphones excluding Apple's iPhone 4S by searching smartphone -"iPhone
4s".

Exact case matching or punctuation

If you're searching for a brand name or keyword that relies on specific punctuation marks or capitalization, you can
find results that match your exact query by adding matchcase: before the keyword you're searching for, like matchcase:E*TRADE .

Combining operators

Use parentheses to separate multiple
boolean phrases. For example, to find journalists talking about having fun in Disney World or
Disneyland, search for ("disney world" OR disneyland) AND fun.

Asterisk

An asterisk can be used to search for any variation of a root word truncated by the asterisk. For example, searching for admin* will return results for administrator, administration, administer, administered, etc.

Near

A near operator is an AND operator where you can control the distance between the words. You can vary the distance the near operation uses by adding a forward slash and number (between 0-99) such as strawberries NEAR/10 "whipped cream", which means the strawberries must exist within 10 words of "whipped cream".
